This is my own movie, my own flesh and blood and I can't see what people are saying about it until 5 hours later today?

How do I check what reviews I get from my movie when it's under judgment?

I've been addicted to Team Fortress 2 for the past 3 weeks. That's pretty much the reason no one's heard from me, it's got such a sweet style to it, I love the 20th century illustration feel to it and how it can be goofy and serious at the same time. Anyone else been playin' it?

And yet people hate the new style of 3-d movies being released...

I want to upload my stuff to TXM badly, but the website won't even let me sign in my old account.

If we could think of one, it would be done already. Addictive yet simple ideas are hard to come by and people won't just hand them out.

Unless you're trying to further your knowledge of AS. If this is the case, you should try and code whatever you want to make as a big project step by step.

My level is done.

Retarded Answers to Difficult Problems.

I'm working on a game at the moment thats a platformer. The game is going to have a v-cam in it, but as many know, it causes a lot of problems. Most problems I can fix, but this game is tile based, so the v-cam would cause a lot of snagging on the space where the tiles intersect. I thought this problem was unavoidable, so I went on and built a time based hitTest and all that jazz. I've been working on this time release hittest thing for about 4-5 hours; WHICH WORKED VERY HORRIBLY >:( ; until I thought a little deeper.

When you put the code for a HUD movement under the V-Cam movement, the HUD lags behind the camera, much like in this game.
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/35 8628
So maybe the tiles were lagging behind the camera and thus fucking up the hitTest with the actual tiles. The fix? I just made the layer with the camera on it the bottom most layers, and my problems were solved. And now I'm kind of mad at myself because I didn't figure that out sooner, seeing as I've been having this snagging problem for months now.

Sometimes when I'm working on things such unexplained and STUPID errors happen. And I most of these stupid errors I try to work around. I end up making dozens of lines of code for something that probably only needed 5 or 6. It's like devising a search pattern to find your keys you lost when they're sitting right on your desk.

It'll be easier on the processor. I think. I don't know about sprites though. But I just cant imagine constantly creating and deleting objects to be too fast...

Maybe he should split the tiles up into sectors and remove the sectors and attach them. It'll be quicker.

See I'm not completely mad.

I know the feeling XD. It took me a long time to find a sponsor for my newest game, but when someone turns you down, ask the sponsor about other websites that may be willing to sponsor it. Your game must be worth something, because if they thought you were crap they wouldn't bother to respond.

Also, try http://www.dabontv.com, if you haven't already. It took me a month to find a sponsor for my game; don't give up just yet.

I remember seeing a demo of this game like, months ago.

Nice job, I love it XD

I went through a depression stage simply because I thought I was crap at everything and I was too hard on myself and expected more from myself than I could do... I was put on a diet and that really helped... even though I was not fat, a diet helped me get back into normal and now, I'm much more energetic and healthy.

Depression

Thats how I feel most of the time ShortMonkey. I'll look at any art or just about anything I do and I'll think I'm crap at it. I get depressed about a lot of shit though, but I try not to let it get to me.

Yay fixed textbox

The characters remaining bar only updates once every 2-3 seconds now, so it's still effective, but now it just runs a lot quicker. It makes my life a lot easier.

Is this because I found out about the stolen submission you just deleted or because you don't feel you have the skill to draw a Tankman?

And fishhook, It's not "exactly the same". Krinkles knows and accepts that people use their graphics in their movies. In fact, Krinkles knows about the FLAs that are distributed on Madness Combat, because he visits there often. He was even talking in a topic where people had decompiled Ragtime Madness on the Madness Combat forums.

You are so fucking lucky the Black & White collabs were such a sucess. I remeber that whole thing about you saying to downvote the competition. And then their was something about someone stealing MrWomble's graphics. Wait a second, wasn't that you?

Now, I read this, let's not make original art. They need to be accurate so they need to be stolen. That menu, hey there, in case some you haven't notice. Some people should stop whoring the RAW .Fla in the downloads section. Especially for Art Contests involving shirts.

Jesus.

I have to agree. Who the hell tries to organize a collab using restriced artwork on the forums of the website in which the person who made the artwork works at? I pray that this collab gets shut down, and if it doesn't, you won't get anywhere using Johnny Utah's own artwork.

It wouldn't be so bad if you were oblivious to what you were doing, or if someone who made a part used the art from Tankmen by their own accord, but you're actually distributing the decompiled file. And when someone told you what you were doing was wrong, you tried to rub it in their face.

You'll most likely get no good artists for this collab, and it'll be a failure; if it doesn't get shut down. You were a bad organizer in the B&W collab (you stole someones part without their permission) and this collab has a horrible premise behind it. Nice job >_>

Does that mean he has to make it using the same things you threw at the wall?

Cooking

I have no idea how to cook yet I have cooked almost every single dinner my family has ate for the past 2-3 years.

I mostly stick to preprepared garbage, like Tuna Helper, or these horrible Homestyle Bakes things. I've always wished my mother would stock up on more actual cooking supplies, other then the precooked things I have just described. Sometimes I cook a gourmet hamburger recipe that my father has secretly handed down to me, or pork chops though.

If being able to stick noodles in a pot and stir occasionally counts as cooking, I am the cooking king.

It is very well possible to put a SWF file into a powerpoint file. I found out how to do it after I learned some basic VB.

That you can use whenever you feel the need. I don't have any comments on either of them, so you're gonna have to learn to use them yourself >_>
